TOP TEN SONGS OF 2015

Its that time of the year when we look at the whole year and analyze what really rocked our boats...
This time around, the write up is on the songs that made us dance and reflect....and before anything is said, the list is highly subjective and indicative of my own personal views and preferences which of course, I intend to sell to thee.....

10.Right now remix ft Seyi Shay, Banky W and Iyanya:


If for nothing, the song made us realize the genius in Shay, and also made us realize that Iyanya could be an excellent singer when he wishes to...

9. Jagaban by Ycee:


"They tried to feed me beef but I told them wait for Ramadan"
How else can one describe this dude's meteoric rise?
2015 was certainly the year for this young star as within a twinkle of an eye, just a song catapulted him to musical relevance. 

8.Connect by Phyno:



This was by all standards, the best song coming out of Eastern Nigeria this year.....How else do I say this? I lost my voice singing to this banger....."akpa gi makwa mma n' I so na connect".

7. King Kong by Vector:



This list would be incomplete without Vector who in my opinion is the best Nigerian rapper....The song without a shadow of doubt completed Vector's comeback story in 2015.

6.Hotline Blings by Drake:

who else epitomizes consistency better than Drizzy?
Great song.

5.Mama I made it by Cassper Nyovest:


What a year it has been for this brilliant rapper!
As far as I'm concerned, Cassper has been Africa's Number One Rapper in the past one year, and "Mama I made it" has been the biggest song out of Africa, this year.

4.Tell your Friends by The Weekend:


A year ago, I didn't know of this dude but today, he is up there with the best, and "Tell your friends" is just my preferred song in his growing list.

3.Alright by Kendrick Lamar:

Currently, Grammy awards nominee, Kendrick Lamar is generally accepted as the Next big thing to happen to the Rap game since 2pac, and what a year it has been for him!
"Alright" raised hope and assured that "if God's got us, we gon be alright".

2.Classic Man by Jidenna ft Kendrick Lamar:

Just like The Weekend, just a few persons were aware of this dude a year ago but today, we all claim to be classic men because of him.
"Keep my gloves dirty but my hands clean"
And of course, he is Igbo....

1.Hello by Adele:


If this song wasn't number one, it wouldn't have been out of place to doubt my sanity....
Adele made those of us who weren't even dating to feel like we had suffered numerous heartbreaks with this song....
By all standards, this song alone took Adele back to her throne as the queen of pop music.

So, after so much dilly dallying on my part, I finally decided to travel on Sunday but then, I had to put up one last show of my genius; I had to confuse "Village People" by announcing that I'd travel on Saturday... My journey was largely uneventful majorly because I was travelling in a bus that had a more than fair share of nursing mothers strutting their respective breasts in a bid to feed their always hungry babies: this of course lacked the capability of interesting me. Well, things took a twist in my rather boring journey as men of the Nigerian Police Force stopped our bus to carry out a thorough check probably because we looked suspicious (I'm guessing this suspicion was stroked by the fact that my eyes were as red as whatever you can imagine as a result of my "highness" and because I wore a black face cap, a black top and a black trousers). I was searched and fortunately for me, I decided to leave my kitchen knife in school, and I had run out of su

Nigeria at 56: are we cursed or are we the cause?

Image
Apologies to Mr Peter Obi for using this catchy but thought provoking phrase that he used the very first time he contested for the Governorship of Anambra State. Apparently, that question he asked over ten years ago still hangs over not just his Anambra State but Nigeria as a whole. On a Night like this, 56 years ago, there was probably a sickening nostalgia all over the then British Colony which would later become the Country, Nigeria about the endless possibilities that accompany Independence, especially in a Country that is as endowed as ours. Well, Tomorrow will be exactly 56 years since Nigeria attained independent status from Great Britain. At Independence, our founding fathers such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ahmadu Bello and Obafemi Awolowo had such lofty goals and dreams for our progress, prosperity: they conceived a Nigeria that would maximize her enormous human capital resources: A Nigeria that would truly cater for the hopes and aspirations of her diverse peoples: A Nigeria that

AHEAD OF SATURDAY: WHO DID WE OFFEND?

Image
Recently, I saw an op-Ed o n Bloomberg which potrayed Nigeria's 2019 Presidential election as between a former dictator and an alleged kleptocrat. At first, I considered the insinuation offensive but deep down, I knew that was the perfect description of the two gladiators in this weekend's presidential polls; my grouse was actually with the fact that even foreigners know how bad our shit smells. While he was campaigning for the first time as the Governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, the vice presidential candidate of Nigeria's main opposition party in Saturday's poll kept asking if Anambra was cursed or if Anambra people were the cause. Today, I can't resist the urge to ask whether Nigeria is cursed with totally irresponsible leadership or if we are the causes of the failure in leadership. Perhaps no time but now is best to ask that soul provoking question, given the choices we have decided to limit ourselves to. By this time next week, either of incumbent
